Our constituents deserve better than narrow-minded political games.
Stephen Fincher
Folks, I mean to keep my word. And if I don’t, I’ll give you my address and some rope. That’s real accountability.
Stephen Fincher
I’m known up there as the guy from Frog Jump. And it’s a good thing.
Stephen Fincher
I may not be a polished politician, but as a lifelong farmer, I know that most problems can be solved with a little common sense.
Stephen Fincher
There’s Frog Jump on my GPS, so it’s there. It’s a real place.
Stephen Fincher
People are quick to say with their mouth full, ‘Well, the American farmer is on the dole.’ But a loaf of bread is two bucks when it could be 10 bucks. I know what it is with the government in my business. We would be all for not having government in our business, but we need a fair system.
Stephen Fincher
We have to remember there is not a big printing press in Washington that continually prints money over and over.
Stephen Fincher
This is other people’s money that Washington is appropriating and spending.
Stephen Fincher
Pat Boone is an icon in this country. He’s not a guy who’s going to pull the wool over people’s eyes. He’s going to tell them the truth.
Stephen Fincher
Kevin McCarthy is one of my best friends.
Stephen Fincher
I’m putting jobs over ideology.
Stephen Fincher
Why should we make our constituents wait on job growth?
Stephen Fincher
I strongly believe we must move forward with these much-needed reforms to the Ex-Im Bank by acting on a five-year reauthorization bill.
Stephen Fincher
Transparency at the Export Import Bank has long been a concern and must be addressed.
Stephen Fincher
The role of citizens, of Christianity, of humanity, is to take care of each other, not for Washington to steal from those in the country and give to others in the country.
Stephen Fincher
We represent the people’s money, and we have to be good stewards of that.
Stephen Fincher
The farm subsidy program is something that was put into place over 60 years ago, and it was put into place to do one thing, and it’s turned into something else.
Stephen Fincher
Do we need farm program reform? Absolutely.
Stephen Fincher
My constituents say, ‘Congressman, have you balanced the budget?’ And I’m going to say, ‘Well, we’re working on it.’ And they are going to say, ‘Well, Congressman, did you get rid of Fannie and Freddie?’ And I’m going to say, ‘Well, we’re working on it.’
Stephen Fincher
Chairman Hensarling is a good man who cares about America, and I respect him to the highest degree.
Stephen Fincher
When Ex-Im gives companies the resources they need to sell their products abroad, their employees, suppliers and communities succeed at home.
Stephen Fincher
While other countries have been securing large export deals, American companies have been placed at a competitive disadvantage – forced to compete globally with one hand tied behind their back.
Stephen Fincher
I don’t work for Club For Growth or Heritage.
Stephen Fincher
As I’ve long said, the farm bill is in need of major reform. At first chance, I voted to remove direct payments. Both the House and the Senate passed bills that end direct payments, and as we move forward, I hope we can work out the rest of the issues to implement the necessary reforms.
Stephen Fincher
In Arizona, where farm dust is currently regulated, farmers are forced to park tractors on windy days to prevent getting strapped with outrageous fines.
Stephen Fincher
Under the Clean Air Act, the EPA has the ability to more stringently regulate dust. If the EPA determines more stringent standards are necessary, family farmers and ranchers, as well as rural economies, would be devastated.
Stephen Fincher
Dust is part of rural America. It is completely unreasonable for the EPA to put a price tag on communities for carrying out activities essential to their well-being. This is a prime example of federal regulations gone too far.
Stephen Fincher
It’s our government; just leave us alone and… let the free market create the jobs.
Stephen Fincher
Fish and Wildlife has a significant amount of federal funds for land acquisition, yet it is skimping on management of the lands it already possesses and shortchanging local tax bases.
Stephen Fincher
Over the years, our federal prisons have become a breeding ground for radicalization. By allowing volunteers to enter the system without first having to undergo a comprehensive background check, some of the most vulnerable members of society have become susceptible to radicalization.
Stephen Fincher
With today’s technology, you can actually see the baby grow, move, and hear their little heart beats.
Stephen Fincher
Late-term abortions are unconscionable.
Stephen Fincher
As a nation, it’s time to put politics aside and do the right thing to protect innocent little babies.
Stephen Fincher
It’s not unreasonable to ask folks to stay clean in order to receive federal assistance.
Stephen Fincher
I really feel like we have drifted too far away from real America.
Stephen Fincher
It’s time for Washington to get out of the way and quit killing American jobs.
Stephen Fincher
I am humbled by the opportunity to serve the people of West Tennessee, but I never intended to become a career politician.
Stephen Fincher
We must, we must cut the EPA’s legs off. I hate to say that, because it sounds rotten, but they are choking this country to death with legislating through the bureaucracy in Washington.
Stephen Fincher
You name it – it is something every day from the Environmental Protection Agency, and every group I talk to is the same message: ‘Please stop them. Please stop.’
Stephen Fincher
Trillion-dollar bailouts, bloated budgets, and boondoggle spending packages aren’t working, at least for my friends and neighbors.
